Derry City are pleased to confirm the signing of Robbie Benson for the 2025 season.
The experienced midfielder has over 300 League of Ireland appearances and won three League of Ireland titles and an FAI Cup at Dundalk before adding another cup winners medal with St Patrick’s Athletic.
The Athlone man played over 30 games for Dundalk last season, but the Lilywhites suffering financial difficulties and relegation to the First Division, Benson was one of the players coveted by a number of Premier Division clubs.
Robbie has played all across the midfield and is well known for chipping in goals from there. In the 2024 season he scored 4 times for a struggling Dundalk side and City will be hoping he brings his previous success North.
City boss Tiernan Lynch expressed his satisfaction at securing the signature of the midfielder:
“Robbie is gonna be an unbelievable asset to this club and probably might not get the attention of others, but I think he’s one with a vast amount of experience in the League of Ireland , has league/cup medals already in his pocket and has played in major games.”
“He’s a great character, a lad that’s a real winner and he’s here for one reason, he wants to win and he sees Derry City as a good opportunity to do that”
